How did you come up with that SN?

How did you meet your SO?

What initially attracted you to your SO?

Sheila the tank is a character in the online web series Red vs. Blue that started back in 2003. I admit I'm really rusty on the show and haven't seen past season 5 but I LOVE the first few seasons. roosterteeth.com/archive/?sid=rvb&v=more

He fell asleep in my dorm room's "living room space" waiting for my roommate to go on a hike. She left without him but didn't tell the rest of us (There were 6 of us in the dorm suite). My other roommate came back and said there is a random kid asleep in our living room. I went and checked and there he was. He woke up and we got to talking. We spent the entire day and night together and at the end of the night he kissed me. The rest is history. 

Either his hands or his nerdiness. He has really sexy hands and when he works on computer stuff, like rewiring an office, I can't stop looking at them and then it takes everything in my power not to jump him. I'm weird. lol.

HAHAHAHA! Nice! Honestly I've never tried it, but I bet you could. *adds that to bucket list*

Probably the best gift was when we got Kyra our kitten. We had just moved into our own place and were driving by H's friends house. We had talking about getting a cat and as a joke we stopped off as his friends house to ask if we could have one of their cats (they had 5 and we really went to visit and were never expecting them to give us a cat. We were just joking). His mom on hearing our question says "Yes! You can have this kitten we are fostering" She opened the door to the bedroom and there was this little black and white ball of fur who immediately began to purr when I held her. She was our baby and my best friend, especially when I was alone in Florida for a year. She passed away Christmas Eve while I was home visiting when she was only 4 years old.

Thank you. I realized I probably killed the thread with that so here is a cute gif.

Dates. They are sweet and I can tell myself they are healthy.

Doritos. I'd drown myself in them if I could. 

[expatmama11]

I have a really short fuse so I normally just blow up in someone's face, but then i'm fine. I'll also go play gears of war or something where i can shoot something on a screen or I'll clean.

These ones are hard.

Greatest accomplishment so far would be being a key player in digging the company I work for out of near bankruptcy. When I stated as "the phone girl" many people who had worked there before said I was making a mistake and I should get out while I still could. In two years I quadrupled their profits and am now the VP of consumer sales and customer service. Yes, we are a small business with under 15 employees but when I started there was only 3 of us. 

Buying that damn condo when I was in college. Worst financial advice ever and it almost ruined us. It has caused a huge strain between myself and my mother's side of the family. I could write a book about it. 2nd biggest regret was going to grad school. Biggest waste of time and money. 

Hands down Hugh Jackman or as H likes to call him Hugh Jackmeoffman. 

I don't have a single moment that sticks out above the others. I was a really weird kid and my ADHD and my impulsive control problems didn't help. This is usually me:

If you could go back in time to any period, which would you choose?

If you could meet any historical figure, who would it be? Why?

You are all coming up with really good ones. I was expecting favorite color, or favorite food. lol 

Probably the time of the Vikings because I would want to go raiding or ancient Egypt

Leonardo da Vinci. I always pictured him as an eccentric old grandpa, almost like they portrayed him in Ever After. I would love to pick his brain and check out his inventions.

That is really, really hard. I guess it depends on where I am in my life at that point or the situation. I really like archer gifs. Let me think on this one a bit more and I'll get back to you.


Lady Antebellum - Just a Kiss. It was our wedding song.

My boss likes to make us go on incredibly long road trips. I've learned the hard way to get healthier snacks like nuts, turkey jerky, or fruit. If I could, I'd eat Doritos and gummy bears.

2 cats, a bunny, and some fish. 

It varies depending on my mood. Most often its video games, but I also like knitting, gardening, and baking.

Because nothing is better than feeling like your teeth are going to rip out as you chew. Seriously though I love these things. Except for the banana ones. Those can go to hell. 

No, sorry. I had to google who Frank the tank was.

Imagine you are on a stranded island with only a pack of bubble gum, a pet salamander, and How To Make A Sandwich for Dummies. This can only play out one of two ways: the salamander eats the gum and you make a salamander sandwich, or you eat the gum and the salamander eats a you sandwich.

Do you now want a sandwich?

As a follow up, will you get your ass in the kitchen and make me one?

Yes

No

Maybe

P.S. I like you

Earliest childhood memory?

Earliest childhood memory?

Sitting on a counter top in a kitchen with my mother and another woman really close to my face with worried expressions on their face. I was hysterically crying in the memory and the outer edges of my vision were tinged bluish/black. I mentioned this to my mom when I was in middle school to try and find out where this memory was from. Turns out the memory was when I was about 3 and was in daycare. The other woman in my memory was my daycare provider. My mom had come to pick me up to go home and was talking to the daycare provider. The daycare provider's daughter who was 6 or 7 gave me a gum ball without asking her mother. I had never had gum so I didn't know you had to chew it. I swallowed it and started choking. Thankfully my mom saw and she whipped me around and whacked my back several times as hard as she could and it came out. The memory is of just after this event when they were checking me all over. I was fine in the end but she said it was the scariest experience of her life. 

Again, I don't mean to be horribly morbid. Here is another cute gif to make up for it.

SheilaTheTank, I don't have a question. I've been lurking, reading this thread and just wanted to say...I like you.

Yup, exactly.

So, should I keep playing on TCF or actually get some work done (laundry, dishes...) while LO naps?
